Has any one replaced this gasket around the headlight #6 in diagram? How difficult is it and what type adhesive holds it in place?
Mine is rotting away.

its held in place by its own squeeze tabs. no glue. but you have to remove the headlight to take it off.

I have to do the same thing for my 05 545i. Where are you getting the gasket from?
